Problem Overview:
The task is to classify the given statements as either
quantitative or
qualitative.
-
Quantitative observations are those that can be measured or expressed in numerical terms.
-
Qualitative observations are descriptive and do not involve numerical measurements.
Solution:
Let's analyze each statement one by one:
---
#### 1.
The cup had a mass of 454 grams.
- This statement includes a numerical measurement (454 grams), which describes the mass of the cup.
-
Classification: Quantitative
---
#### 2.
The temperature outside is 25°C.
- This statement includes a numerical measurement (25°C), which describes the temperature.
-
Classification: Quantitative
---
#### 3.
It is warm outside.
- This statement describes a feeling or condition ("warm") without providing any numerical data.
-
Classification: Qualitative
---
#### 4.
The tree is 30 feet tall.
- This statement includes a numerical measurement (30 feet), which describes the height of the tree.
-
Classification: Quantitative
---
#### 5.
The building has 25 stories.
- This statement includes a numerical count (25 stories), which describes the number of floors in the building.
-
Classification: Quantitative
---
#### 6.
The building is taller than the tree.
- This statement compares the heights of two objects but does not provide any numerical measurements.
-
Classification: Qualitative
---
#### 7.
The sidewalk is long.
- This statement describes a characteristic ("long") without providing any numerical data.
-
Classification: Qualitative
---
#### 8.
The sidewalk is 100 meters long.
- This statement includes a numerical measurement (100 meters), which describes the length of the sidewalk.
-
Classification: Quantitative
---
#### 9.
The race was over quickly.
- This statement describes a characteristic ("quickly") without providing any numerical data.
-
Classification: Qualitative
---
#### 10.
The race was over in 10 minutes.
- This statement includes a numerical measurement (10 minutes), which describes the duration of the race.
-
Classification: Quantitative
